Even though we have fairly mild winters here in the Willamette Valley paying attention to winter care might save some important garden plants in your garden.
Remember the winter of 2012-2013 when we have the December hard freeze event? we got to minus four degrees here at the nursery. A hard freeze is defined as air temperatures below 25 degrees for over four hours. The result of the December 2012 freeze was devastating to many zone 8 plants.
Some of the plants that froze to the ground that winter came back after 12-24 months such as Escallonia, Viburnum Spring Bouquet, Strawberry Tree and others. |

Growing The Best Lawn,
Chapter 1 Having the best lawn in the neighborhood is not as hard as
it seems. Most of us don't really care
that our lawn is the best, but we do want a nice looking lawn. Others could care less what their lawn looks
like. I will be addressing only those
who care here. A good lawn involves
even uniform appearance, meaning it has the same green tones throughout, not
blotchy with other grass varieties invading that have a different texture,
color or both. |

Well, the holidays have past and now we are looking forward to what 2013 will bring! We are busy here at the nursery getting ready for our plant production. We have some new exciting varieties of perennials that we will be growing for your garden! Our holiday break will end soon as we open back up on Jan. 21st.
Gather up your gardening magazines and let's get into the mindset of planning of gardens for the upcoming season. Think about planning a color themed garden or maybe a miniature garden! |
